(1) YA Emily has a comfortable life with her middle-class parents; Sam and his younger brother are abused by their mentally unstable father. Regardless of circumstance, Emily and Sam feel an instant connection. Aided by a clipped, matter-of-fact narrative style, the novel flies by through multiple perspectives. The chorus of voices contributes to this life-affirming exploration of the subtleties of love, compassion, and relationships.
